Granola Cookies: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups granola
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients until just combined.
Stir in granola and chocolate chips until evenly distributed within the dough. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict:

These granola cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy, making them an ideal treat for any time of the day. The combination of granola and chocolate chips in the cookie dough creates a unique and satisfying texture that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters. These cookies are perfect for baking in large batches for potluck gatherings, special occasions, or as a fun weekend activity with family and friends.

Serving suggestions:

Serve these delicious granola cookies with a tall glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea or coffee. Alternatively, try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. These cookies also make for a great snack on-the-go and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
